- At first, it's very bright. But then, as your eyes adjust to the light, you start to piece together your surroundings. The moving blobs above you, you realize, are masked faces of surgeons. And they've got their hands inside your body. You can't run, you can't scream... Luckily, you can't feel. Still, you have to watch...

Waking up is not my biggest fear. Not waking up is.
Please 😭
We are very different people lmao
I enjoy both
Waking up is worse! If you wake up you die by pain!if you dont wake up...you just dont wake up
NovaKami Uh they give you aneathisea you cant feel
surgery itself is one of my worst fears, let alone WAKING UP during it
my worst fear during surgery wouldn’t be waking up
it would be not waking up
Especially Heart Surgery 😱
******** I’d say especially EYE surgery
My worst fear during a surgery isn’t waking up.
The fear is how much my insanity level will raise considering how high it is already 💀
Experienced both.I used to be scared of surgeries but after my one and only surgery (that I woke up in)im ok with it.Its no big deal
Me: let’s watch this!
My anxiety: *wait what*
I'm now scared
@@abbieandaustin548 same
👍
Im scared to sleep now
Haha same
3:04 if a patient wakes up during surgery and sees that Mr Bean is doing his surgery, he will faint without anasthesia
lol🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
*Q* : What happen if you wake up during surgery?
*A* : The anesthetist doctor will be fired immediately
That's a scenario, for another "What If"
Not really bc sometimes the body already absorbed the anesthesia
Pump more anaesthesia🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sling Shot swing a baseball bat to the head perhaps?
This happens to a patient who got surgery to his brain but he keeps playing guitar

Hey you watch collage humor too noice
Oh god...that picture will haunt me
I was eight, now I’m 32, and i remember how i felt like it was yesterday. I didn’t woke up during the surgery, but i woke up to early. I was still in the operating room, all the doctors around me. Like they finished one minute ago. It was the worst feeling ever. I still remember the smell. I couldn’t move an inch of my body at all. And i couldn’t speak, i screamed for my mom but not one sound came out. It was horrible
Omfg 😫😥
Ow, atleast you are good now!👍
Ow! Omg I can’t even imagine that! I had surgery when i was 6 or 7, luckily I woke up at the right time!
Same! I was 18 yrs old that time (after my surgery) I cried like a baby while looking for my mom.
Ohh no

Brain: What If You Wake Up During Surgery?
I asked to be awake, but still paralyzed during my eye surgery... It was very awakening to see what surgeons go through before they even touch your body.
Docs are pretty awesome ✌🏽
I woke up during surgery once, almost lost my medical license.
Mark Dibble lmao
Mark Dibble 🤣🤣

What if you wake up during an eye surgery.. *shuddersssss**
Saaaaammmmmeeeeeee
Yep yep
Nitin negi thinking about that makes me quiver. 😰
Nitin negi I mean they keep you awake during some eye surgeries. For example: Laser eye surgery. You are awake for that.
That Mr bean face made me laugh 😂😂😂
Same! XD
🤪👍
I remember when i was 10, i woked up in the middle of my Surgery and i literally saw my Tummy being sliced and i screamed without hearing nothing while pulling two of the Doctors hard, and they fell on the Ground lol, the other doctor immediately injected me then i fell asleep, that was epic lol

This is so freaky but I've heard that some people wake up and can feel everything going on but can't move. That's what I'm so scared of. At least here you couldn't feel but can you imagine FEEL them digging around and it hurting sooo bad but not being able to say anything?!?!

Problem isn't bout waking up during surgery, the point is what if i didn't wake up after the surgery?
There's a huge problem with waking up during surgery cause you're gonna feel everything! And in a scenario where you survive and pull through the pain, that's gonna cause you PTSD, nightmares and a whole bunch of other shit in the long run. Whereas if you don't, you just don't..die peacefully
It's better than live with nightmares and full of pain

Thank God I never went through that but I think I went through emergence delirium. I was 11 when I had my adenoids removed. The moment I woke up I went berserk: freaking out, kicking, screaming, and as the doctors were trying to hold me down I was thrashing to get them off (I fell out with them holding me down and I didn't like the feeling), and I finally started crying saying I wanted my mom. The next thing I knew I passed out (they probably injected me without me realizing it). Later on I felt them bed Wheel me to another room and lift me into another bed. Not long after that I opened my eyes to find my mom in the recovery room.
My last surgery I remember waking up with no one in the room. Being that I just woke up from surgery my first thought was "I'm going to get in trouble if I'm awake" or something like that. So, I remember closing my eyes and pretending to be asleep until someone entered the room. I used to do this all the time when it was time for bed, so I was really good at it. A couple minutes later a nurse came in with my mom to wake me up. I think they both knew I was awake, but they didn't say anything about it.
I woke up in a surgery once..i couldn't move my hands or open my eyes but can hear what the doctors we speaking...and then i slept again
STORY END
You woke up but you couldn’t open your eyes? I don’t understand that.
About waking up, he meant getting conscious... Not literally opening the eyes
Red Rum no
Me too, I woke up and saw blue and some doctors and went straight back to sleep. No pain at all.
i think if i woke up, i would faint as soon as i realised what was happening.
Lol same XD
abby jones what if you didn’t faint?
abby jones same it’s scary
SAME but the big problem is if I realised I had a tube in my mouth I would scream
I woke up once, but it was a mouth surgery. I didn’t see any gruesome thing
I had 5 surgeries, and thankfully I never woke up during.
During my wisdom teeth were removed I was knocked out and had some local anesthesia.
Omg so I had to have surgery to have an extra bone in my right foot removed since it was causing me pain when I walked or ran, and idk what happened but I was having this extremely vivid dream about me climbing up a zipper (to try and escape im guessing???) as it was zipping up, but my right foot kept getting caught in it and it was the most excruciating thing I have ever felt in my entire life, it wasn’t until much later that I realized that the pain that I was feeling was the operation on my foot 😬
Well, i don't know how to react if i saw mr. Bean shows on my surgery 😂
Same!
hqhahahaha lol
😂😂😂😂
I would start to panic 😂
im ur 666 like

Or a tummy tuck 😳

Or a brain surgery😳
@connextro yep there already awake brain surgeries done. And that too successful ones
during a heart transplant your put on bypass so you can’t wake up
Just the video I want to see before actually heading into surgery on the 6th of May.
goodluck !!
Good luck and all the best
I had two surgeries and all went good, hopefully and most likely everything will be good for you too
Goodluck bro💛
It’ll be fine
Have a great time buddy...
This is and has always been one of my biggest fears when I have to undergo any kind of surgery. 😔
Luckily it has never happened and hopefully will never happen either.
Before I fall asleep I always ask the Anesthetist to please watch that I don't wake up, my anxiety is always sky high. 😬😑
Today I understood what a crucial task an anaesthiologist does

I woke up during my surgery... I saw a part of an organ... I became conscious again... no cap...
Seemed like it was just a few seconds tho
Is surgery common? Wtf
Aesethetic Donuts There’s different types of surgery, but surgery is common.
Dho baye dool!😟😞😟😟!
😥😥😥😥
Ive experienced anesthesia awareness before, luckily my body was very numb so I didn’t feel anything and fell back in a few minutes. I really hope people who are unlike me and actually feel the surgery aren’t very traumatized from the experience
Seriously, some of what if vids are kind of scary but i just can't stop watching it every days
I've had brain surgery, Twice acctually, And I cant Amagine what it would be like if I woke up with part of my skull Open.
History Army Productions aren’t u supposed to be awake during brain surgery
I thought during some brain surgery you have to be awake
@@nailahchy1844 No acctually. I was put under anesthesia.
@@nailahchy1844 My surgery was to remove a tomber.
History Army Productions thank god your 👌🏼 ok
I’m sorry for what happened
I once actually woke up during a surgery when I was really young, when I did they realised almost immediately because I moved my head, they then carefully pushed my head back and told me to relax before they gave me anaesthesia which then I fell asleep . If anyone is wondering this is real!
Yianni 98 hey I’m scared but does it hurt or can you scream or move I don’t trust anyone except someone who it’s happened to before I need answers
@@dreamerdolan4589 no youll be num
This happened to me too but i told myself to not move at all cause i felt like if i reacted i would mess up something lmao
this happened to me when i got my wisdom teeth out 😂
I gkt surgery when i was 15 years old and im awake the doctor is trying to make me sleep but i cant sleep
Luckily this was in my recommendations before I was going to the hospital for surgery
It actually happened to me when I got cholecystectomy surgery last February. Three times during operation. First was just like 10 seconds and I fell asleep again. The second one, I knew they already performing the surgery since I feel like I was to vomit so I let out a small speak, saying *"Doc, I feel like I'm going to puke"* and I said that 5 times in order for them to hear me. Good thing, my anesthesiologist made me calm by holding my head. Then the third time when I think they successfully performed the surgery well since they were happy and loud, and I fell asleep again.
It wasn't that traumatic or panicking when you woke up. For those who'll be having surgery anytime soon, *JUST BE CALM AND RELAX WHEN YOU WOKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF SURGERY*
_-i just hope my anesthesiologist wasn't fired because of me_ 😅
My legs are trembling even about thinking about it. 😅
DAX FLAME why only you’re legs ?😂😂

Q : What happen if you wake up during surgery?
A : I will ask him to faint me again.
Ik this is a joke but in real life, u can't even move a muscle. It takes every lil ounce of energy you have to even twitch ur finger if u wake up. That's coz of a medicine they inject so that the patient doesn't move even when he/she is under anesthesia.
@@littlekiwi8964 I know, I have been through a surgery myself.
This is very helpful.
So if you are hungry during surgery and you see your stomach will it actually move?
I'm sorry lol I'm just hungry for a bagel
no because usually you dont make sounds when ur hungry.
Loooool 😂😂😂😂😂
Lmao 😂😂😂
Lmao 😂
I was awake during my apendix removal, (I had local anesthesia done, which hurt like hell tbh, because it was made on my spine, and the needle was like 20cm, when I think about it I could feel the same pain over and over again) but they put something like a curtain so I couldnt see, I could move my head, blink, talk, and the worst, when they were sewing my wound, I could feel the needle penetrating my skin, but I didn't feel any pain during the whole surgery.
I wouldn't do it again tbh
But it's not the worst that could happen, so if you re scared of any surgery, trust me, it's better than losing your life
Tf? Why u told me I'm scared now
Congrats now u know what it feels like to have a c section lol
me : knowing i’d have anxiety after watching this video

One time when I had a surgery they kept me awake because it wasn't a big surgery so I was watching the whole thing very nice 🙂
During my CS I was aware all the time, I heard the doctors chatting about their exercise routines and about losing weight
My mum once had a surgery and she semi woke up during it and said something along the lines of “ow, ow! Tummy sore” but the surgeons were quick to stop this.
Never be too scared of waking up during surgery, the people around you are making sure you’re healthy and safe during surgery and want to prevent pain. As said in the video, the chances are very unlikely of it happening.🙃
I don't know why I am watching it a day before my surgery

ACTUALLY experienced it! Once in a surgery I gained some consciousness, though I couldn’t open my eyes or talk, but I could clearly feel a wired ticklish sensation under my skin, it wasn’t at all painful. I felt like it’s the end of the surgery where they were wiping/cleaning anything out from the opening. Then I soon went unconscious and went back to sleep.

Same here. I was getting all 4 wisdom teeth extracted and I woke up halfway through. I could hear him working and feel him pushing my head back and forth. He stopped and I heard him say, "Give him some more". I woke up later in recovery.
Omg same. That sound is def a sound you don’t forget. I remember it still and I just remember thinking..”well that’s gonna leave a mark for a bit and hurt”
Oh mine was done when I was awake.. damn the anesthesia kept going off.. will nevvverr forget that day.. had like 16 shots of anesthesia.. damn painful

I have had 40 surgeries/minor and major, during my childhood and young adult life. I've woken up a few times during surgeries, never have I felt pain, nor have I seen anything only hear, and you can mumble some words which is how the doctor knew I was up. Usually your eyes are taped shut so they don't dry out or get damaged during the operation. And they have you out within seconds at least they did for me. If your going to have a surgery and your nervous, bring a item that smells good to you it will help calm the nerves and know that the anesthesia gist is really good at their job. I would say 40/3 is a good record. But I completely understand the fear I still am afraid of any surgeries myself, which is why I only get done what is absolutely necessary for my survival and or quality of life. May God Bless you 🙏 Also don't eat food before surgery, you will throw up.
Thank you . I am relieved to hear this

Junk Mail did it hurt?
I actually recently learned that having a resistance to these meds during surgery is hereditary. it’s only going to happen if your parents passed it on to you, so be sure to ask relatives if anything’s happened during operations
In the earlier times surgeons didn't used to give anesthesia to babies because they thought they're nervous system is not developed yet to feel the pain, but later it was found that babies can't feel pain too, imagine how did those little souls have felt
Who else was there When “what if” had only
I thought it was still at about 50000...
I woke up during surgery and I still have flashbacks...so scary!!
This happened to me when I was getting teeth surgery. 😔
I also had teeth surgery but this never happened
Tell the anesthesiologist that you've woke up during surgery before and make him/her promise not to let it happen again because you had PTSD from it. They usually pay more attention to you while you're under. (happened to my dad, he hasn't had it happen to him since after telling them)
One of my fears 😰

Then you go back to sleep 🤣
It actually happened to me while I was under surgery (a really easy surgery for my feet beacuse the bones where not straight, but don't worry). I remember waking up, understanding that I was having surgery, smiling to the doctor and going back to sleep. No pain or anything, it was kinda fun
